It may not be winter yet, but TASTE readers already seem to be craving all the comfort foods of colder months. Four of the top 10 recipes are desserts. The rest? Dumplings, potatoes, chicken and something special for Easter.

Our most read recipes in February suggest a shift to enjoying the simpler things. Let’s get back to basics, shall we?

7. Potato salad

6. Peppermint Crisp tart

Cook’s note: Effortless and quick, this tart takes a maximum of 30 minutes to make (not including chilling time). The recipe makes one large tart big enough for at least 12 people, which makes for excellent leftovers (if there are any).

2. No-bake cheesecake

1. Dombolo (dumplings)!

Cook’s note: If you cover the dough with clingwrap, spray the clingwrap with cooking spray before covering so the dough doesn’t stick. For something different, try adding a cup of drained canned corn kernels. You can make dumplings using half mielie meal and half cake flour, but you can use only flour if you prefer.Try the dombolo recipe here.
